## :material-fingerprint: Fingerprint
One of the most recognizable types of biometric authentication has to be the fingerprint reader. The idea is that everyone has a fairly unique fingerprint, so we should be able to distinguish between your fingerprint and someone else's reliably. (1) [Finger minutiae](https://sites.rutgers.edu/fingerprinting/no-two-finger-prints-are-alike/) data is used to identify a fingerprint as unique. This data consists of the points on your fingerprint where lines split, abruptly end, individual dots, etc. Two people can have the same number of arches, loops, and whorls, but they won't have the exact same configuraitons of minutiae.
